The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-08a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: And Salama ibn Shubayb narrated to me, saying: Al-Hasan ibn A'yan narrated to us, saying: Zuhr narrated to us, saying: Sammak ibn Harb narrated to us from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: Sahih Muslim 606.
The Shaykh : "When the sun had declined" means the sun, and the meaning of "declined" is that it had shifted. However, he would not call the iqamah until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out. The reconciliation of these hadiths is to say that the matter in this is broad, so that there is no contradiction, or claim of abrogation, or preference of one over the other. This is because some scholars say that the prohibition is preferred because it is a report from the original state, while some say there is no need for preference, but rather it is said that the matter in this is broad: if they remain until they see the imam, that is good; and if they hasten and arrange the rows before he comes out, there is no harm.
Bilal summoned to prayer as the sun declined but did not pronounce Iqama till the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out and the Iqama was pronounced on seeing him.
